Thanks everyone... I picked it up on Saturday. I like the mint luster in the devices. There's a slight amuont of rub on the lower hair curl and on the cheek for the obverse and a slight rub on the lower wreath. I'd peg it arounf 55-ish. But I'm not certain what to make of the dark spot on the obverse near "States". I didn't find it all that distracting and it loks really nice in my Dansco album...Leo

Cool 1857 psl... here's a different one...

Once again...simply stunning coins...everyone. Thanks for the morning eye candy!!

...I think something's wrong with the Cook Island Dollar though...it's a little fuzzy

vt...Nice CBH...If I may inquire...did you buy it raw or slabbed? I've been looking at these recently for my type set.

Sort of dark...but I think these images accurately reflect the toning on the coin...Leo

Bruce...thanks... my most recent newps are some early copper pieces I picked up from some board members from the other website. I got an 1852 (VF30) and a '54 (XF40) from Rare Coins of New Hampshire and a '56 from a different board member. The '56 came in PCI plastic at XF45 but I grade it more conservatively at 35 with some small carbon spots on the reverse. I'll try to get pics over the holidays.

Not the most recent....but the most recent one for which I have an image:
